Now, on to the paintings. The brilliant German painter Gerhard Richter has an amazing range of technique and style. The first one below shows his amazing abilities in photo realism. The other three are from what I refer to as his fuzzy photo realist period.

Those are fantastic – I especially like the first two. I wonder if the title of Woman Descending the Staircase is an homage to Duchamp's Nude Descending a Staircase.

Christy: It almost seems impossible that he wasn't referencing the Duchamp.
Mary: And there is so much more to see on his website.

I love that first painting. I saw a show of his once and they were just amazing.
